Meanwhile, Al Amardi Street will have a standardized speed limit of 90 km/h between Al Khawaneej Street and Emirates Road.

These adjustment were made in an effort to improve traffic flow and road safety, following the recent expansions and improvements made on both streets, including additional lanes and upgraded intersections.
Sheikh Zayed bin Hamdan Al Nahyan Street has recently seen several development projects, including an overpass at Dubai Al Ain Road. All ongoing overpass works are expected to be completed by 2030, allowing for a 100 km/h speed limit throughout the street.
On the other hand, Al Amardi Street has been expanded, new service roads have been built, and the roundabout at Al Khawaneej Street has been converted into a signal-controlled intersection.
The RTA will also update traffic signs and road markings to reflect the new speed limits on both streets.
